That’s just a link to the image hosted on xkcd.com, so if that is still pixelated, it’s probably a caching issue.

By “the post” what do you mean? The one in my comment is obviously the pixelated one, I am going to keep it that way for future documentation; the one on xkcd.com has however been fixed.

ReactOS is mentioned in the article, it’s a somewhat different approach.

ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?

in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:

TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:superstition_2x.png / https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png

edit (c. 9 hours later, the morning after in my timezone): ok, it seems it has been fixed, so it was apparently not intentional

I use it all the time in web browsers (Firefox/LibreWolf can do it even on Linux). I learned to use computers on Windows (mainly XP), so as far as I’m concerned, that has “always” been a thing, so why would I not use it.

Former Windows users who expect that to start scrolling. I remember that happening to me when I was new to Linux.

wot? I thought compiz was fairly well known but maybe I haven’t kept up with what is or isn’t well known nowadays, been using Linux for too long :D

It’s a thing some people occasionally do. By itself it’s neither a good idea nor bad idea, but people have certainly been confused by it before. It’s better to use software for its actually intended purpose, that is less confusing both for oneself and everyone else.

I have long found it more useful what the middle mouse button does on Windows (start scrolling) and hope that becomes widely adopted, even outside browsers, on Linux one day too. Good step in that direction.

One good court decision. Sad that it was necessary. Many court decisions will follow that won’t be as good. :(

really, the first? I think Brainfuck was also not built for humans and has been around for a while…

(this apart from the other obvious things to write about this idea…)

I wonder if that was intentional, to post this at a time when there are different years in different parts of the world. :D

Why would things from 12 years ago not be nostalgic?!

It did the same thing for me in LibreWolf, but worked in Falkon.
